 Research Notes:
The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire, names (in order) ”Matilda…Johanna…Isabella” as the daughters of “Willielmi Marescalli comitis Penbrochiæ”. The same source records in a later passage that "tertia filia…Willihelmi Marescalli…Isabella" married "domino Gilberto de Clare comiti Gloverniæ". The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey records the marriage of “Gilberto…Gloucestriæ et Hertfordiæ comes” and “domina Isabella filia Willielmi Marescalli senioris, comitis de Pembroke”. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the marriage “die sancti Dionisii” in 1214 of “Isabel filia W Marescalli” and “comiti Glocestriæ et Herefordiæ Gileberto de Clare”. Her second marriage is recorded by Matthew Paris, who names her "Ysabellam comitissam Gloverniæ" as sister of William Marshall Earl of Pembroke. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the marriage “III Kal Apr…apud Falle juxta Merlawe” in 1231 of “Ysabel comitissa Gloucestriæ” and “Ricardo comiti Cornubiæ, fratri Henrici regis Angliæ”... The Annales Cambriæ record the marriage in 1231 of "Ricardus comes Cornubiæ" and "Isabellam cometissam Gloucestriæ". The Annales Londonienses record the marriage in 1231 of "Ricardus frater regis" and "Isabellam comitissam Gloverniæ, relictam Gileberti de Clare".
The Annales Londonienses record the death in 1240 of "comitissa Gloverniæ uxor comitis Ricardi" in childbirth. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death “XVI Kal Feb…apud Berkhamstede” in 1239 of “Isabella comitissa Gloucestriæ et Hertfordiæ, Cornubiæ et Pictaviæ” and her burial “apud Bellum Locum Cisterciensis ordinis”. Matthew Paris records that she died of jaundice contracted in childbirth. 1
